WHY INN KAPEU STARTED
Our mission is to be a catalyst for social and economic change. Inn Kapeu started with the dream of partnering with ethical and transparent non-profits, local businesses and farmers who are striving for a better tomorrow.
Many non-profits actively depend upon the generosity of so many, which can become a limiter for what they are able to accomplish. At Inn Kapeu we look for ethical and transparent NGO’s who are striving to bring lasting change through education and social impact all while providing the fairest of trade for our business partners and farmers.
According to the Coffee Barometer, of a $200 billion industry, “only 10% of the aggregate wealth of coffee stays within the producing countries.” This means that more than 90% of the income goes toward importing, roasting, and the retail process in consuming countries, leaving farmers vulnerable to most of the risk and little to no profit.
All of our coffee is from Guatemala
Alliances that empower
At Inn Kapeu we strive to find high-integrity partners who are growing ethical coffee and roasting the highest quality available. All of our coffee is grown, freshly roasted, and shipped from Guatemala. This allows us to generate more value in-country for the farmers and roasters by paying beyond fair-trade prices.
